THE BEST INDIAN BLOG DIRECTORY—INDIBLOGGER.IN

You just created your new blog last week. It has a wonderful design, some great posts written by you and you have installed some cool widgets. All it needs to become a success in blogosphere is regular flow of targeted visitors. What to do?

This is where most blogs fail to survive and get lost in the web. New blogs needs traffic and the best way for new bloggers is to get registered on various blog directories. I too have done the same. Because my blog is targeted for Indians, I searched for Indian blog directories. There were many of them but I chose IndiBlogger.

IndiBlogger is a blog directory specifically made for Indian blogs. If you have a blog around 15-20 days old and with quality content, submit your blog to IndiBlogger. After a review by the site, you blog will be submitted to the directory and from here, you will start gaining the advantage.

IndiBlogger helps you to make your reputation in the blogosphere. You will start getting recognition and through IndiBlogger, you can interact with other bloggers and participate in Bloggers Meet they organise form time to time. You can also get a little traffic from their directory. But the best part of IndiBlogger is the annual awards they give to encourage the bloggers. If you win, it is very encouraging to get so much recognition. One nicer thing about them is their badges. They are very cool and stylish and at the same time, cater to every Indian. See the badges I have chosen for my blog on the right side.

USE FORUMS: BOOST YOUR BLOG TRAFFIC

I have waited for three weeks to write a post on this topic. The reason is I wanted to make sure that this really works. I had heard that this technique is very effective and put into use on just one forum with a high PR. And I really found a good increase in my number of visitors. My hit counter ran faster than what I expected it to run.

Forums are the best way to get traffic for a new blogger. For a blog to survive and make its mark, all it need is traffic, targeted traffic. Visitors come to your blog regularly; only then your blog can be a success. Choose a forum of your blog niche, register there and participate regularly. I had a bit idea of blogging, so I straight away went with this technique are results have been positive. I have got 85 visitors in 20 days which is not bad going by the standards I set for myself.

I registered in many forums but mainly I was active at TALKGOLD. This is a good forum for money talks and discussion about various HYIPs and money making programs, GPTs etc. It also has a good PR and Alexa Rank. I am an old member of this forum and active since last few days. I used my blog address in my signature with a small tagline. It appears every time I post a reply and my signature is displayed to everyone out there. I think 3 out of every 10 who see my signature will come to my blog. And its a good conversion rate.

Few things you should never forget-
1. Try to post at least 5 topics per day. This should be your minimum target.
2. Never keep the font of your signature too big. It should be big enough to catch attention. For best results, use font size 2 with a centre align.
3. Do not register in too many forums together. You won’t be able to participate in all of them together. Go slow but steadily. Keep track of your time and register after making a rough estimate of how much time you have for this activity. On an average, 20 minutes for every forum is enough.
4. Remember, CONTENT IS KING. Nobody will visit your blog regularly if you won’t write high quality posts. Your posts should be YOURS. Do not cut and paste other’s thoughts in your blog.

Try this technique once, be active on the forum you choose and there is no reason you won’t succeed. High quality traffic will come to your blog.

TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS

How many times have you encountered the situation when you need to make the decision very fast and you feel you have lots of options? Every option is the best and you just cannot decide to go with which one. And this is where you need to hear to your inner-self, your instincts and I guarantee you, you will always be right.

Instincts or gut-feeling, as we call them, never let us down. They are the voices of our inner self. They do not come to us every day. But when we hear them, I personally feel we should never ignore them. These voices are heard only when we are in the most typical situations and our decision could lead us to glory or dungeons. If you hear them and follow, you will win otherwise it could be a tricky time for you.

Why I believe them is because if they were the ordinary voices, why they do not come to us on each and every occasion. Why do we say it instinct? Those voices are audible to us because someone (not difficult to guess who is he) wants us to win and excel. He wants us to become the man of the moment and to steal the show. He wants people recognise you and love you for what you are and what you did. He wants you to set example for others.

So when this instinct or so called gut feeling does come into play? When you are on the football field and you need to decide in a flash of moment whether to go for goal or to pass the ball. When you are in the examination hall and confused between two options A and B and you want to go with B, that is your instinct. There are many circumstances you come across once in a while which awaken your instincts, they try to say something to you and if you hear them, you are on the top of the world.

Trust your instincts and they will never let you down. It’s my belief and I can assure you if you go with them, you will win.

Friends, please do comment on my posts and my blog. I want your suggestions to improve this blog and myself.

See you later.

GET A FREE HIT COUNTER TODAY!

You must be familiar with the free hit counters. If you are not, let me explain you. These are the small and attractive widgets which you place in your blog or website. These counters are provided for free by various websites and keep a track of how many visits have been made to your blog. You can wish to increment this counter every time a page is visited even if it is in succession or for every unique visitor.

Now, let me tell you the importance of these free hit counters. They do not benefit your blog in any way, neither in monetary terms nor in terms of number of visits. Instead, they benefit you. It may sound strange but it is true. And I can say this as I have experienced it myself.

I put a free hit counter in my blog and let it run. And then I visited my blog after 24 hours and I saw that the counting of my counter has gone up from 25 to 30. It may sound like peanuts for an experienced blogger but for me, someone who has just started the blog; this is a very good increase. So, these counters encourage me to continue my good work. It shows that my work is been appreciated and people are visiting my blog because they have started to expect some good posts from me. This fact really helps and energises me to post regularly.

Even if that counter is not increasing because I am not getting visitors, I am encouraged. I am encouraged to prove myself to the world and tell them I am not just like some other blogger in the blogosphere. I am someone whom they wanted to read for a long time.

So, I would recommend everybody to get a free hit counter today. There are numerous sites offering this offering these counters of various designs which will definitely suit you and your blog’s taste. Get it and get to know how it feels when you see your blog is been visited many times since you last visited it.
